 * On to my second question…
 * I have this template and this is the link to the demo site:
 * [http://themes.solostreamsites.com/](http://themes.solostreamsites.com/)
 * I would like to be able to alter the text at the top. Maybe change the font, 
   but defiantly the size of the font.
 * Here again, I am not that familiar with php or css files. So which file is it
   and how do I modify it?
 * Thanks for the help!!

 * You would want to edit the css IMO.
 * In your dashboard you can go to Appearance > Editor, and find style.css on the
   bottom right.
 * This appears to be the relevant bit:
 *     ```
       #header h1.blogtitle {
       color: #FAF7E8;
       text-align: center;
       font-size: 30px;
       line-height: 100%;
       padding: 50px 100px 5px;
       margin: 0;
       }
       ```

 * Why couldn’t I see that… I probably spent a couple hours looking at those 2 files
   and totally missed that…
 * I will give it a try tonight and see how that works…
 * Thanks!

 * Unfortunately its in development and on my computer locally… Only thing I can
   provide at the moment is the demo page that I have listed above.
 * The only modification that I have done to the code is listed here:
 * [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/zeke-2-col-ver-10?replies=11#post-3141916](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/zeke-2-col-ver-10?replies=11#post-3141916)
 * Other then that, its stock from download (with plugins activated of course).
 * Thanks for the help!!

 * Still having issues with this… I have tried editing the section of the file above
   and stopping and starting the web services also. Still not getting it to work
   properly…
 * Thanks!

 * Have you tried clearing your browser (and any other) caches? Stylesheets are 
   sometimes cached — so changes won’t show up right away.
 * Also, are you using Firebug (or similar tool) to look at the CSS you are trying
   to change?

 * It never dawned on me to clear the chache. Just have to remember to do that from
   now on because it shows up now.
 * No I have not used Firebug. All I have been using is the built in editing in 
   WordPress.
 * Now on to my next formatting question in a new thread…
 * Thanks for all the help!!
